A palm-sized analogue synthesizer controlled by five knobs and a ribbon keyboard. Sakamaki handled product planning for monotron, an early step in KORG’s renewed analogue instrument range.
An MS-10/MS-20-derived filter also processes external audio. The ribbon and LFO provide direct control over pitch movement and modulation, with battery power and a built-in speaker.
In a developer interview, Sakamaki described limiting the features and price to make analogue sound more accessible, establishing a starting point for subsequent analogue products.
